The Shooters Audiobook

" This is generally not my kind of book. Probably better for people that enjoy military/spy books, and for people who know the characters well from his other books. However, I listened to the whole thing (books on CD) and did enjoy many parts of it and found the characters entertaining. I couldn't follow a long with some of the military talk and it was somewhat long, but I still liked it. "

" the continuing saga of Charley Castillo and his band of spec war specialists...fun as the plot and his backstory comes to light...ordered to rescue a DEA agent in Uruguay/Argentina kidnapped by druggies...Charlie must combat enemies within and without "

" This was an exceptional series ---- "

" Castillo is some kind of person. Griffin is one great author. A very well written store, like all his books. "

" Audio Book. Charlie Castillo does it again. This was a good book. There was an action scene with Delta force making an assault which was cool and I kind of felt it was missing in the last two books. They save the DEA guy and stay out of trouble with a "

" A fun, empty brain, historical fiction about CIA activities in South America. W.E.B Griffin is a former military man himself and therefore has a great deal of insight into how the military works. Weaves a pretty good story and, as I said, great reading for "idle brain" function. "

" Loves the way Griffin pulls you into the stories with the Tech information that is just way beyond my experience, but very typically what is out there and being used. "

" Great read , but could have been condensed into 400 pages rather than 700, a lot of unnecessary filler "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and would consider reading more from W.E.B Griffin since I've always loved a special ops thriller. I do hold reservation to the very frequent use of (what I consider) excessive profanity. Examples: J__ C___, d___, f___, g__ d___, etc. "

" #4 in the presidentail agent series. i thoroughly like the characters. !!!!!!! "

" Fast paced. A good read. "

" Humorous, suspenseful and fits the possibly terror threats we face today perfectly! "

" I read this whole series and I thought it was good but not great. The characters were awesome but sometimes it seemed like I'd read 100 pages and nothing would happen. Also, the transition from book to book was awkward, which isn't a complaint I have about Griffin's Brotherhood of War series. "

" Refer to review of "The Hunters" from same series. "

" A DEA agent is kidnapped in Argentina. He has relatives who are members of the Chicago police force and are powerful friends of the mayor. The president tasks Charley Castillo with rescueing the agent despite all sorts of roadblocks put in his way. "

" cant wait till next book!!!! "

" I've read most of w.e.b.'s books, and this was the worst. How can you have a book called the shooters and have 1 page of shooting? The book was all about politics in the army = boring. Also very repetitive. "

" I really like the Argentina setting and after so many griffin novels I read, I still like his writing and the history he brings forth on WWII . "

" Another good read in the series. Just makes you Want to get to the next book. "

" I have enjoyed this series. Characters are interesting - lots of action. "

" Plot line is good but presentation is grade school. His previous military books were much better. "

" I was introduced to Mr. Griffin's work with theis book. I hadn't read any of his other works, and was intrigued by the cover of this book. I have since read all the other books in this series with the exception of the last one, book 7 "Covert Warriors". Hope to get & read it soon! "

" This was an exceptional series ---- "

" Good book, a few slow parts in the middle. But a good overall story. "

" Great buildup, quick resolution, but who am I kidding? If Griffin wrote a 10,000 page book, I would sit and read it, and ask for another when I finished it. "

" I read this whole series and I thought it was good but not great. The characters were awesome but sometimes it seemed like I'd read 100 pages and nothing would happen. Also, the transition from book to book was awkward, which isn't a complaint I have about Griffin's Brotherhood of War series. "

" Another W.E.B. Griffin series about a military history with the right pedigree. "

" Personally, I love series books. Anytime you can follow characters through several books you become more engaged with them with each reading. The Shooters added some interesting elements to Lt. Colonal Costillos life. A good read. "

" So far another good book in the Presidential series. Quick reads all, but fun rides. "

" Four pages of action. 23 pages of intrigue. 458 pages of travel arrangements. Fun drinking game, though. Take a shot of Famous Grouse every time someone smiles and shakes their heads, says "Jesus Christ!" or establishes their worldliness by turning the tv to Fox News. "
